Alan Edwards

The water heater was off on a Saturday and after trying some things, it still wasn't working. I called Davis and was informed they consider a water heater issue as an emergency and would send over a technician (after hours fee applies). Ryder called when he was about 35 minutes away to notify me he was on the way. He arrived on time, covered his shoes and we talked about the issue and the Davis customer satisfaction process to keep me informed from the beginning. Ryder resolved the issue and got the water heater up and working due to his knowledge and expertise! Later in the afternoon the temperature / pressure valve failed unexpectedly and Ryder returned to investigate further and also determined the expansion tank was waterlogged. So, rather patching an old water heater, a new one would be the best route. Ryder stepped up and obtained the new one and installed it, which meant working late into the night. Ryder knew we needed the hot water so the family could get ready for a funeral visitation service on Sunday and he went above and beyond to ensure that the water heater would be ready. I would call Davis again if I had a need. Thanks to everyone at Davis!

On November 10, 2025 we requested a cost estimate from Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric to have an expansion tank installed on our hot water heater. On the 13th, Ryder W. from the Plumbing Department arrived early, fully prepared to provide a written estimate after consulting with us and looking at the hot water heater and its location.

During our discussions we learned Davis would also wall mount an expansion tank we provided (we preferred a brand not stocked by Davis). In addition to the expansion tank, we also requested an estimate to replace both outside spigots that were leaking. After examining both spigots, Ryder explained our replacement options, the installation methods used (PEX crimping verses soldering), time to complete the work, and loss of water service while the tank installation and spigot repairs were being done. He also suggested installing a gauged pressure-reducing valve (PRV) where the main water supply line enters the house. The gaged PRV provides a positive method to monitor and prevent high pressure from entering the house plumbing which can damage pipes, valves, and equipment. Ryder then prepared a written detailed cost estimate for each requested task and financing options for our review and discussion. We decided to be preventative instead of reactive, and have scheduled to have everything done in the coming weeks.

Ryder is a pleasant and polite young man who is punctual, competent, and customer oriented. He provided a detailed cost estimate for the tank installation that we had initially requested and effortlessly modified it to include the additional tasks we discussed after his arrival. All our questions were addressed and he did a thorough job explaining our options and the installation process. Ryder will be installing all the plumbing equipment himself. We look forward to his next visit.

My experience with Davis Heating,Cooling, Plumbing and Electric was as good as it gets. We had no water, major leak in our yard so we just googled Davis mainly because they advertised 24 hour service. Great decision that was. James was awesome, really knew exactly what to do and really polite. Really good operator as well. Will definitely use Davis in the future.

Joshua was an incredible technician. Timely and incredibly knowledgeable. He was thorough, patient and answered all our questions regarding how our new thermostat works, the overall heating system and even checked an additional item associated with the unit under our house. He gave us a mini heat/cooling lesson that really helped us to understand how the system works, what had happened in our case and how to prepare for the coming cold months when we are here and traveling. Highly recommend Davis Heating/Cooling. And ask for Joshua if you can request a technician!!

James W was friendly and courteous. His assistant was very good. Everything is working great. I look at my new water lines and feel relaxed because there should be no more problems when the water is shutdown by the city. Every faucet/fixture has it's own cut off valve.

Matthew took the time to pinpoint the problem and to find a solution. Very professional technician. Follow up with Dakota to evaluate our options for our 30+ year old system was scheduled quickly and was very professional. A walk through was performed that detailed all the installation processes. Material availability was noted at the time as being a potential issue. Another project required a change to the work order and required an additional site vist. All this was handled by Dakota as well as creative solutions to material availability. Installation was well organized and the team was able to quickly pivot on a small filter issue. The four installation technicians, Cameron, Conner, Daniel, and Hunter were all courteous, professional, and respectful. The support team at Davis were quick to deliver supplies as modifications required. Everyone one on the install team worked together to get the job done. We could not be happier with the work and the professionals that are the Davis team.

Professional Circuit Breaker Installation in Roanoke & Southside VA

When your circuit breaker starts showing signs of age or can’t handle your home’s electrical needs, our team can provide you with an expert circuit breaker replacement in Roanoke, VA. Our electricians remove your old, worn circuit breakers and install new ones that match your home’s specific requirements.

You might need new circuit breakers if your current ones frequently trip, feel hot to the touch, or make buzzing sounds. Older homes often have outdated electrical panels that can’t support modern power demands. If you’ve added major appliances, a home office setup, or plan to install an electric vehicle charging station, your current breakers might not be up to the task.

Our electricians take a detailed approach to circuit breaker installation in Roanoke, VA. We carefully disconnect your power supply, remove the old breaker, check for any wire damage, install the new breaker, and test the system thoroughly before restoring power. We follow strict safety protocols to protect your home and family throughout the process.

Why Circuit Breakers Matter for Your Home’s Safety

Circuit breakers are your home’s electrical safety guards. They monitor the flow of electricity through your electrical wiring and automatically cut power when they detect overloads or short circuits. Without this protection, excessive current could heat your wires to dangerous temperatures, potentially causing fires.

Inside each breaker, a metal strip heats up as current passes through. If too much current flows, this strip bends and triggers the switch to cut power. This simple mechanical process prevents countless electrical fires and keeps your family safe from electrical hazards.

A failing circuit breaker puts your entire home at risk. Without this critical safety feature working properly, overloaded circuits can cause wire insulation to melt, creating fire hazards inside your walls where you can’t see them.

Warning Signs Your Circuit Breaker Needs Attention

Older circuit breakers eventually wear out from years of use, especially in homes with high power demands. The internal components gradually degrade until they can no longer perform their safety functions properly. If your home is over 25 years old and still has the original electrical panel, you’re likely due for an inspection.

Modern construction often includes built-in surge protectors and more advanced electrical safety features that older homes lack. Upgrading your circuit breakers gives you access to these improved safety technologies while potentially improving your home’s accessibility to modern power needs.

Watch for these warning signs that indicate you may need circuit breaker service:

Frequent tripping: If your breakers trip regularly, especially when using specific appliances, they might be overloaded or failing.
Burning smells: Any burning odor near your electrical panel requires immediate attention from an electrician.
Physical damage: Discoloration, scorch marks, or melting on the breaker itself points to dangerous overheating.
Buzzing or crackling sounds: Electrical components should operate silently — unusual noises suggest arcing electricity.
Warm or hot breakers: While slight warmth is normal during heavy use, hot breakers indicate potential failure.
Flickering lights: Inconsistent power to light fixtures often traces back to circuit breaker issues.
Age: Circuit breakers older than 20-30 years have higher failure rates and lack modern safety features.

You never want to miss the signs! Call us ASAP if you recognize any of them in your home.

What’s the Difference Between Circuit Breakers and Electrical Panels

Many homeowners use these terms interchangeably, but they’re actually different parts of your electrical system. The electrical panel is the main metal box — sometimes called a breaker box or fuse box — that houses all your circuit breakers. This is where the power from the utility transformer enters your home before being distributed to various circuits.

Circuit breakers are the individual switches inside the panel that control electricity flow to specific areas of your home. Each breaker protects a particular circuit by monitoring current levels and tripping when overloads occur. When you lose power to just your kitchen or just your bedroom, it’s typically because a single circuit breaker has tripped.

Older homes might still have fuse boxes instead of circuit breaker panels. While fuses serve the same basic safety function, they must be replaced after each use, unlike breakers that can be reset. Modern construction exclusively uses circuit breakers because they provide better protection and greater convenience.

Some electrical issues require replacing individual circuit breakers, while others call for upgrading the entire panel. Our electricians can determine exactly what your situation needs and provide the right solution for your Virginia home.
